Paperback. Condición: New. Tell Tales Four is a groundbreaking collection of short stories from the UK-based Tell-Tale literary collective. Taking as its theme, The Global Village, Tell-Tales 4 has drawn writers together from around the world. Set in India, Africa, Jamaica, Trinidad, New York, London, cyberspace and the future,…the stories are ambitious and very contemporary. Love, sex, death, war, global warming, immigration and crime are just some of the topics stories treat in often dark and funny ways. We are introduced to drug smugglers, a call-centre workers, tourists, ghosts and even a talking robotic job. The twenty-six stories bring together exciting new talents and the work of established writers such as Caribbean luminary Olive Senior, well-known UK-based authors such as Matt Thorne, Sophie Woolley and Adam Thorpe; award-winning travel writer Justin Hill, hip hop journalist Michael Gonzales and Next Gen poet and short story writer Catherine Smith. There is a huge variety of individual voices, but what unites all the writers is a passionate commitment to telling stories and exploiting the possibilities of the short story form.The Tell-Tales collective was founded by the novelist and short-story writer Courttia Newland and the writer and literary activist Nii Parkes of Flipped Eye Press in 2003.

Paperback. Condición: New. This collection of short stories is disturbing in its honesty, as it focuses a sharp yet intimate eye upon the people of the Caribbean. The characters face problems of freedom, history, race, class, violence, entrapment and morality. Theirs is a region in constant flux, trying to break away from its de…humanising past, yet uncertain how to manage the present and plan for the future.Keith Jardim is unflinching in his portrayal of the realities of Caribbean life: if any peace is to be found, it is either hard-won or precarious. Though the stories can be dark, however, they also find solace in the natural beauty of the Caribbean.Keith Jardim is from Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana. His stories have appeared in many publications, including the anthologies Tell Tales 4: The Global Village, edited by Courttia Newland and Monique Roffey, and Trinidad Noir. In 2008 he was invited to read at the 10th International Short Story Conference in Cork, Ireland. He is currently Assistant Professor of English Literature and Creative Writing at Gulf University in Kuwait.

Paperback. Condición: New. This book, based on a conference organised by The Friends of Mr Biswas, explores the writing careers of Seepersad Naipaul and his two sons, Vidia and Shiva, within the sustenance and sometimes pain of family connections -- synergies that V.S. Naipaul laboured to conceal, as the publishing histories of…his father's collection of short stories and Letters between a Father and Son both show. Essays by Brinsley Samaroo and Aaron Eastley focus on Seepersad Naipaul's importance as a journalist who opened up what was hidden in Trinidadian society, who boldly creolised reporting styles and offered his sons an example of the possibilities of combining fiction and non-fiction. Arnold Rampersad, in his moving essay on his journalist father, Jerome, further makes the case for seeing a tradition of Trinidadian newspaper writing that achieves literary quality. Not only is the father given long-overdue attention, but so too is the work of Shiva Naipaul, exploring the same family territory in his deservedly classic novel, Fireflies.Essays find new things to say about V.S. Naipaul: Andre Bagoo writes on his fascination with gay sexuality and cinema (another essay deals with the themes of sadomasochism and incest), Hywel Dix advances the idea of "lateness", in an insightful reading of Magic Seeds, whilst other essays focus on issues of race, gender and globalisation in the Naipauls' work. Kevin Frank, for instance, explores the contrast between the father's engagement with Creole society, and his sons' recoil, and Elizabeth Jackson and Paula Morgan write respectively on masculinity and motherhood in the Naipauls' work.Seepersad and Sons is highly readable because contributors to this book have followed the example and urging of the keynote speaker, Professor Kenneth Ramchand, to address readers beyond an academic circle, and convey the importance of the Naipauls and their literary heritage to the wider society. Literary contributions from Sharon Millar, Raymond Ramcharitar and Keith Jardim make connections with the Naipaulian legacy that show just how alive it is. Robert Clarke provides a visual dimension to the book in a photo essay on the St James district of Port of Spain and J. Vijay Maharaj writes on the complementary art of Shastri Maharaj.Contributors include: Kenneth Ramchand, Vijay Maharaj, Bhoendradatt Tewarie, Nicholas Laughlin, Aaron Eastley, Brinsley Samaroo, Arnold Rampersad, Robert Clarke, Andre Bagoo, Sharon Millar, Keith Jardim, Raymond Ramcharitar, Kevin Frank, Jim Hanna, Hywel Dix, Elizabeth Jackson, Paula Morgan, Fariza Mohammed, Meghan Cleghorn, Varistha Persad and Nivedita Misra.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - A concise reference to the state of theart in systems interoperability, EnterpriseInteroperability VII will be of great value to engineers and computerscientists working in manufacturing and other process industries and tosoftware engineers and electronic… and manufacturing engineers working in theacademic environment. Furthermore, it shows how knowledge of the meaning withininformation and the use to which it will be put have to be held in commonbetween enterprises for consistent and efficient inter-enterprise networks.Over 30 papers, ranging from academicresearch through case studies to industrial and administrative experience ofinteroperability show how, in a scenario of globalised markets, where thecapacity to cooperate with other organizations efficiently is essential inorder to remain economically, socially and environmentally cost-effective, themost innovative digitized and networkedenterprises ensure that their systems and applications are ableto interoperate across heterogeneous collaborative networks of independent organizations.This goal of interoperability is essential, not only from the perspective ofthe individual enterprise but also in the business structures that are nowemerging, such as complex collaborating networks of suppliers and customers,virtual enterprises, interconnected organisations or extended enterprises, aswell as in mergers and acquisitions. Establishing efficient and relevantcollaborative situations requires the management of interoperability from adynamic point of view: a relevant and efficient collaboration of organizations mayrequire adaptation to remain in line with changing objectives, evolvingresources, unexpected events, etc. Many of the papers contained in this, the eighthvolume of Proceedings of the I-ESAConferences have examples and illustrations calculated to deepenunderstanding and generate new ideas.The I-ESA'16 Conferencefrom which this book is drawn was organized by the Escola de Engenharia daUniversidade do Minho, on behalf of the European Virtual Laboratory for EnterpriseInteroperability (INTEROP-VLab) and Interop VLabPortuguese Pole.
